SUMMARY:Lise Getoor: "Responsible Data Science"
DESCRIPTION:The 53rd Annual Faculty Research Lecture will be given by Professor Lise Getoor on Tuesday\, February 26\, 2019 at the Music Recital Hall in the Performing Arts Complex. \n“Responsible Data Science” \nData science is an emerging discipline that offers both promise and peril. Responsible data science refers to efforts that address both the technical and societal issues in emerging data-driven technologies. Prof. Getoor is a computer scientist who is well known for her theoretical work that integrates logic and probability to reason collectively and holistically about context in structured domains. In this lecture\, she will describe some of the opportunities and challenges in developing the foundations for responsible data science. How can machine learning and AI systems reason effectively about complex dependencies and uncertainty? Furthermore\, how do we understand the ethical and justice issues involved in data-driven decision-making? There is a pressing need to integrate algorithmic and statistical principles\, social science theories\, and basic humanist concepts so that we can think critically and constructively about the socio-technical systems we are building. In this talk\, she will lay the groundwork for this important agenda.

SUMMARY:Dee Hibbert-Jones: “Last Day of Freedom & Run With It”
DESCRIPTION:Professor Hibbert-Jones will be screening her academy award nominated short film “Last Day of Freedom.” When Bill Babbitt realizes his brother Manny has committed a crime he agonizes over his decision- should he call the police? Last Day of Freedom is a richly animated personal narrative that tells the story of Bill’s decision to stand by his brother\, a Veteran returning from war\, as he faces criminal charges\, racism\, and ultimately the death penalty. This film is a portrait of a man at the nexus of the most pressing social issues of our day – veterans’ care\, mental health access and criminal justice.

In 2015 they received the Filmmaker Award from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke\, created to honor and support documentary artists whose works are potential catalysts for education and change.

SUMMARY:International Women's Day: Celebrating Feminist Scholarship from the Americas
DESCRIPTION:The Research Center for the Americas and Feminist Collective of Sisters in the Borderlands invite you to join us as we celebrate International Women’s Day with book talks by two leading feminist scholars. The first speaker is Dr. Ranita Ray of the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas who will speak about her book The Making of a Teenage Service Class: Poverty and Mobility in an American City (University of California Press\, 2017). The second speaker is Dr. Barbara Sutton of the University of Albany\, SUNY who will speak about her book Surviving State Terror: Women’s Testimonies of Repression and Resistance in Argentina (New York University Press\, 2018). Together\, these books explore the critical themes of resistance\, survival\, intersectionality\, and trauma/hardships in the Americas. \nSchedule:\n1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ~ Dr. Ranita Ray\, University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\n3:00 p.m. – 3:20 p.m. ~ Break with light snacks\n3:20 p.m. – 4:50 p.m. ~ Dr. Barbara Sutton\, University at Albany\, SUNY \nAbout the Speakers: \nRanita Ray is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas. She is an ethnographer specializing in women of color feminisms\, children and youth\, urban inequalities\, and education and policing. Her book\, The Making of a Teenage Service Class: Poverty and Mobility in an American City (University of California Press\, 2018)\, challenges common wisdom that targeting “risk behaviors” among youth such as drugs\, gangs\, violence\, and teen parenthood is key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Ray has published several other articles and book chapters related to children/youth\, urban inequalities\, race\, class and gender\, and co-authored a book titled As The Leaves Turn Gold: Aging Experiences of Asian Americans (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers\, 2012). Ray is currently preparing a book manuscript that draws on rigorous fieldwork to explore how the relationship between policing\, race\, class\, and gender shapes schooling experiences and educational trajectories of children growing up in marginalized communities in Las Vegas. Ray is actively involved in community-oriented research projects\, and co-founder of Heating Youth Voices—a Connecticut based youth led organization. \nBarbara Sutton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at the University at Albany (SUNY). She is also affiliated with the departments of Sociology and of Latin American\, Caribbean\, and U.S. Latino Studies at the same institution. She earned a law degree from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina (her country of origin) as well as a doctorate in sociology from the University of Oregon. Professor Sutton’s scholarly interests include body politics\, global gender issues\, state violence and human rights\, collective memory\, and women’s movements\, particularly in Latin American contexts. Her book\, Bodies in Crisis: Culture\, Violence\, and Women’s Resistance in Neoliberal Argentina (Rutgers University Press\, 2010) received the 2011 Gloria E. Anzaldúa Book Prize by the National Women’s Studies Association. Her new book\, Surviving State Terror: Women’s Testimonies of Repression and Resistance in Argentina\, was published by NYU Press in the Spring of 2018.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Alessia Cecchet
DESCRIPTION:“Eating and Resurrecting the Goats: Animal bodies\, death\, and Western cultural practices” \nAccording to Norse mythology\, two male goats\, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr\, pull Thor’s chariot. Once they have completed their labor\, these animals can be eaten and resuscitated thereafter\, in order to feed their god in an infinite loop of animal servitude. This myth epitomizes the focus of this dissertation\, which will engage with the ways in which Western societies and culture negotiate animal depth and engage with the materiality of the animal body. This dissertation explores this relationship by focusing on the representation and cultural digestion of the animal body\, specifically on the instances in which animal bodies are\, like in the Norse myth\, “brought back to life\,” in order to serve human needs. Once dead\, their bodies are rearranged-as in the case of taxidermy -so that’s Ann illusion of life can be represented to serve human needs-of knowledge and education\, wonder and discovery\, entertainment\, and amusement. Consequently\, this research focuses on how the animal body is used to mediate its own loss\, in what seems to be a system created for human pleasure. \nAlessia Cecchet is an experimental filmmaker and PhD candidate whose work is invested in the representation of non-human animals. \nFriday Forum for Graduate Research is supported by the Graduate Student Association\, the Humanities Institute\, and the following departments HAVC\, Literature\, History of Consciousness\, Psychology\, and Education. It is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.
